It is not just illegal drug users who have succumbed to a fentanyl overdose. Too many children have been exposed to fentanyl, some in their parents’ homes and in one horrific case in their daycare. Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin. It only takes the smallest amount to poison or kill a young child.

In this episode of Capitol Crimes, lawmakers discuss their efforts to combat illicit fentanyl and protect children from its dangers.
